Getting Started

Dependencies

• Package 3

Optional

• Package 4

Note on installing dependencies

In principle, if you are using pip, you don't have to install dependencies beforehand. When you install this package, :code`pip` will automatically install the required libraries. However if you are using Conda it is best to use its own package manager and not pip unless absolutely necessary.

If you use conda:

conda install -c conda-forge package1 package2

Now, let's say package 3 is not available, then we can use pip. But, be sure to use which pip to check if we are using the pip installed on the conda environment and not the global one.

pip install package3

Install from source

git clone https://github.com/terrencetec/stockdaq.git
cd stockdaq
pip install .

How to Contribute
